Supplemental Application

is still necessary information needed by the CDM admissions committee. After the CDM
receives an applicant's AADSAS application, all applicants who are Georgia residents
immediately will be emailed a link to the CDM supplemental application. The supplemental
application must be completed online. Please be prepared to pay a $30 fee by credit
card or check. Your supplemental application will not be process without payment.

Based on review of their AADSAS application, a selected number of out-of-state applicants
will also be emailed the link to the supplemental application. A candidate’s packet
is not considered complete until a supplemental application has been submitted and
received by the CDM admission office.

If an applicant has submitted a CDM application previously, the applicant can use
his/her username and password to retrieve a previous application, make necessary changes
to the information before submitting the new supplemental application.

If an applicant is invited for an interview, GRU requires an additional set of official
transcripts from all American accredited colleges and universities attended by the
applicant be sent to the CDM admissions office directly.

TOEFL scores (if applicable)must also be received in the admissions office for an
applicant to be further considered for evaluation.

Any requested information such as transcripts can be sent to the following address.

All letters of recommendation to GRU College of Dental Medicine must be submitted
through the AADSAS process. The applicants for entering 2014 class have two options
for submitting letters of recommendations.

Option 1: The first option, allows two letters. One entry will be a packet or composite/committee
letter. The applicant will indicate this on the AADSAS application. The GRU admissions
committee requires the second letter, a personal reference, be a dentist.

Option 2: The second option, allows four letters. One of the letters must be written and submitted
by an academic professional (instructor, advisor, department chair, etc). The second
letter must be from a dentist. The third and fourth letters can be submitted as personal
letters and can be submitted by another academic advocate, another dentist, a supervisor,
or someone who knows the applicant well enough to speak positively on the applicant's
behalf. Once an applicant has begun an AADSAS application (not finished or submitted)
and has listed those who will be submitting letters of recommendation and their contact
inforamtion, then the referencers will receive a link via email with instructions
on how to submit his/her letters on behalf of the applicant.

and all DAT scores have not been submitted through the AADSAS application process.
